Jharana Jungle Lodge, Tadoba

How would you feel when you go to the jungle and find only greens without animals? A wildlife photographer who looks for that perfect shot of a tiger comes empty-handed. Imagine, what effect it will bring on the ecosystem where all the living beings co-exist. Just the thought of this scenario is scary. The threat of extinction due to poaching and hunting in their own habitat has been a matter of concern. Hence, maintain the wild animals in their natural habitat is more important.  Being a national animal, the Bengal tiger has its own charm. Tiger is the primary member of the feline family and has several breeds. Out of the nine subspecies of the tiger family, only six are remaining. The tiger species include Siberian tigers, Malayan tigers, Sumatran tigers, Indo-Chinese tigers, and Bengal tigers among others. The Royal Bengal tigers are one of the popular species with more in number.  Although extinction is still a danger, Government bodies and NGOs are making efforts to pr...

  Nothing is impossible in this digital world has been proven again! The virtual safari started by Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) has been receiving great response by internet users.

We know that Tadoba is an ultimate hub to the rich biodiversity and provides a mesmerising jungle experience to the visitors of TATR (Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve). Apart from a Jungle Safari, Tadoba National Park is gaining eyeballs due to a great migration of birds to this land of a balanced ecosystem. Earlier in June 2019, the famous Black-Capped Kingfisher was spotted in the jungle of Tadoba by visitors. Although, this little bird is a resident of India, witnessing her presence brought instant joy to nature enthusiasts and visitors. Mainly the bird is found in India (Andaman) Sri Lanka, Kansu, Shansi, Korea, Malay Peninsula, Thailand and many other countries rich in biodiversity. The Black-Capped Kingfisher is about 11 inches long. With blackhead, purple-blue wings, white neck collar, black & blue wings, this bird sighting is an alluring experience for birdwatchers.  Have you tried Birdwatching?

Being situated in the vicinity of Tadoba Andhari National Park, it’s our pleasure at Jharana Jungle Lodge to serve the best of Hospitality services to the visitor of the wildlife sanctuary.

Everyone deserves to have a good experience when they invest time, money and put in efforts to experience the thrill amid the jungle.
